How to tile and grout master bathroom remodel DIY
I’ve realized that these are great accessories when you’re harvesting wood and saving battery/gas. Mini chainsaws for limbing, regular chainsaw for bucking.
I would have preferred the fan not running while you were talking. Unnecessary noise?
The company that selling this saw don’t give out contact number I bought one twice it worked then nothing it is sat in my shed still no contact number I will be contacting consumer rights this has not gone through enough tests
@PaulBilby I am sorry for your experience. The contact information I was able to find is: customer@smartsaker.com Additionally, it looks like you can fill out a request from this link: www.smartsaker.com/pages/contact-us?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvpy5BhDTARIsAHSilym1YRAw-kdhpVa9fFLVmlTCPQU6VN7d24nY26bMVIbL8b_i33gT5J8aAsOcEALw_wcB Hope you are able to get the assistance you need.
I just ordered one. The discription says it has a brushless motor, which is better with longer life than a simple motor. Can you confirm that the motor is brushless?
Initially I thought you said you had white smoke and then later he said blue smoke coming out of the exhaust. Then much later in the video you said you found a leaking valve cover gasket on the passenger side. I didn't see how the two are related
I think he said 6 inch pounds then later you said 106 for the top of the valve cover 4 bolts. Older engines it is recommended buying new rubber grommets for even pressure.
I did my 2005 LS engine 5.3. has a permanent PCV valve. Started blowing out bluish-white smoke on some startups. So I did some UA-cam searches found out this is very common for these years. I removed the driver side valve cover and drilled 10 holes in the baffle. What would I put it back on I use the old gasket and the original 4 grommets on the top four bolts that hold the valve cover on. People suggested always buy a new soft rubber grommets so that it will put even pressure on the valve cover when you tighten them down. Otherwise when you tighten down the old ones it's much more difficult to get even pressure and it will result in a leak of oil down on the exhaust manifold which is what happened to me so now I've got to go back and try to figure out how to loosen up some of the bolts and maybe tighten some others I don't know.
You have the best demeaner as you work on your truck. Thank you for the video. I have a 2005 Silverado 5.3L , LS with bad oil leak issues. I want to tackle replacing both valve covers. I'll tell you General Motors really dropped the ball on Chevy trucks with the 5.3L motors. I inherited my truck because my '03 was totaled because of the frame bent from a rear end collision. My regret is I should have kept it as a salvage. I bought it new of the factory semi that brought it to the Dealer in Arlington, Tx. and I took care of it like a baby. It only had 103,000 miles on it. I will refer to your video in case I need to. But really thanks a million, it is the best video out there that I've seen. New sub.Question, what is the brand name of the valve covers and where did you purchase them?
Thank you for the compliments, for watching and the sub. I bought at O'Reilly Auto Parts, might be Dorman for the valve cover and Fel-Pro for the gaskets but not 100% sure on the brand.
Best review, great job, thanks.
It won’t let you print black and white if it’s out the color a color! I don’t need color.
I wonder if you could put a 6 inch blade on the 4 inch unit?
@bobbrock4221 if you have the guide bar for the 6" chain with the chain itself, it is interchangeable with the motor head. The motor heads for 4" & 6" are the same motor heads with the ones I have. Thanks for watching.
The oil Lay's agent the gasket, at all times, so it more than likely was leaking, but the grommets probably shrank and hardened too.
Labor charges at dealerships are so outrageously high, the only way they can get customers to use them is to design everything so it's a PITA to work on one's self. Thanks for the great video! I hate car dealers and the so called engineers who design today's motor vehicles. A good example is my Dodge Grand Caravan where the upper and lower air intakes must be removed to change the spark plugs. I'd like to meet the moron who designed that mess. The dealerships charge around 3 hours labor to change the plugs. It can be done in less than an 90 minutes if one uses the shortcuts that are posted on you tube.
The problem is that the hole is to small,,just drill it out to a larger size,,takes about 5 seconds,,It will solve the problem..
I bought the 6 inch to get the case & all the extras. Then i ordered a separate 4 inch bar. Best of both worlds.
How do unlock my 6 inch shaker Chan saw
Not sure the question, is it locked up and not spinning when you pull the trigger? When the battery is not in, can you spin the chain by hand?
With a key.
Try contacting them GOOD LUCK WITH THAT
Does the 2010 Sierra have the same built in pcv valve?
I believe 2007-2013 are the same, but the parts store should be able to tell you for sure. Thanks for watching.
Man makes want to go and build stuff😹😹
That’s what I call craftsmanship! 🔥
This is the Best small chainsaw comparison video in UA-cam.
Thank you so much for the kind words. Thank you for watching.
Excellent demonstration of this mini-chainsaw. Looks good. Glad I bought one. It arrives tomorrow. Thanks.
Just got my 6" one it's great for cutting pallets for kindling £60❤
You just created another problem at the car wash getting the intake wet where your knock sensors sit holding water
Thanks for the heads up. I will keep an eye out for it.
It corrodes & shorts out sensors puddling . Bad design causes xtra work pulling entire intake
👀 P r o m o s m
love your videos!
Great video and all. But my question, I did an oil change 2 months ago , because I did a flush on my engine since I got a lifter tick. It went away after the 3rd oil change .. but today that I checked my dipstick , it was dryer than a bone. Can that be an issue or why it burned my oil this quick ?
Did you find any external leaks?
Could you have just replaced the grommet instead of taking it all apart
On what I found I believe so. Was great learning experience for me so I thought sharing it all could help others too. I figured that was better to be open and honest with the whole thing instead of trying to crop the video to make it appear like I figured it out right away. Thanks for watching
Great job man.
An extra $44 gets you a longer chain blade and an extra battery. For me, that's a no-brainer.
Im still losing a lot of oil WTF I already change it
Chevy never could get their PCV system right. Best place for that valve is toward the front of the valve cover with a baffle. Same with their EVAP systems, just can't seem to get them right. Of course the LS motors are junk to begin with.
I just changed the oil sensor, now that was in a ridiculous hard spot. Wishing that was in front as well. Thank you for watching.
@@Weekendwarriorworkshop my brother is finding out the hard way the issues these engines present. Thanks for making the video.
Did you clean or replace the screen under the switch?
Dumb comment. Ford and Dodge trucks both have their own specific problems so whatever you have also has irritating issues too.
1-Original valve cover had the slots. GM's "fix" was a joke. Opening up the hole by the pipe nipple works. Gotta clean the orifice like in this video (passenger side also). 2- I doubt that much oil came from the grommet, but you washed it. 3- What's that AFM sticker on your brake reservoir? Did you have that deleted? If not, amazing it hasn't failed by now.
1. I wonder if the year of the vehicle matters, my original one did not have them (I am original owner). If I have the issue again I will try this. 2. I suppose there could have been multiple issues, however a couple years later now and have not had any issues (hope it stays that way). 3. I have never messed with the cylinder reduction. Have not had any problems with it. Still drops to V4 as I am driving. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching.
@@Weekendwarriorworkshop I doubt the year matters. I guess you have a LY5. My experience leads me to believe that when the AMF activates while oil pressure is low (idk below 30 psi) is when the havok starts. Keeping oil changed and eyes on the pressure helps. Not ever overheating or changing oil immediately if it does should help also.
When you search the TSB over this problem it explains what is going on and the few fixes they recommend. I am getting ready to mess with this problem soon. I have a 2013 that burns through 2 quart’s between oil changes. It has been like that since about 60k miles and I am at 90 now.
@@BigErnieMcKraken Check your throttle body. If it's oily, it's sucking oil.
@@BigErnieMcKraken Not sure about models, but some of the intake tubes have reservoirs that capture some of it. I clean the tubes out. A catch can will provide a temporary fix (gotta check/empty though) until you can resolve the issue.
I've been looking for info on (what I believe to be) this same problem! I'll be doing this very soon. Thank you for recording all of this, AND for posting the update that it seemed to fix your issue.
Thank you for your testing and comparison. You answered so many questions I had on this product.
Thanks for watching
10/10 gate, well designed with strong bones and easy slat replacement in a decade or two.
Thanks for watching
Love the handmade tool but it ought to a thinner back for better line of sight to cutting surface. 7/10 handsaw
Great point!
How much working time did you get from a single charge?
I was able to delimb two big trees. It was over the course of a couple of hours. If you need longer, then that definitely recommend the two batteries so one can be charging while you use the other. With two batteries, you could probably work all day cutting.
@@Weekendwarriorworkshop okay.. thanks 👍
They recommend charging it after 5 to 6 cuts
I like this style of video. It feels like we're alongside you every step of the way. 👍🏽
Glad to hear it!
@@Weekendwarriorworkshopdid have misfire code
Did this fix the problem? Does it still burn oil?
Two years later, the fix is still working.
this guy is a clown will not tell you the problem till after , not worth the time , don't waste your time
I actually enjoyed watching him troubleshoot and find the problem as he went through the video. He explained his whole process, and based on the majority of the comments on here, he did a swell job. You, sir, are the clown 🤡 in this situation. I recommend you try selling peanuts at a circus. You have potential.
Whats the updated version for the valve covers?
Thank you for the video. Instructive and interesting.
This may seem like a stupid question, but will a 4" replacement chain fit the 4" model saw? I can't see how a 4" chain will reach from the sprocket to the tip of the guide bar. The instructions are useless.
Were the replacement chains from same manufacturer? The ones I have fit on, but had to take cover off to install. There is also an adjustment screw you might need to loosen to put on, then tighten back up after you put back on the sprocket. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching
Just received my 6" version and had some fun cutting back a mulberry tree. I'm a 69 year old gramma who's nervous of electric tools. But this is the best impulse buy I've done in years. Thanks for the review.
er, erm.
Excellent video. I have a 2005 GMC with the 5.3 V8 and the oil consumption/burn is getting worse. I would attempt the process that you showed us but I'm not confident enough to do it right now. I do believe that it would help. Well done!
Hello guys, This past weekend replaced the cover on my 2012 ppv tahoe 5 3, but I noticed that I had already the updated cover, my problem is little weird, no cold start smoke, no hight rpm's smoke, but when Im going down a hill just iddling when acelerate back trow bunch of smoke (blue), but after that no smoke. Untill iddle againg for like 10 seconds
The TSB over this problem mentioned that 2011 and after should already have the updated cover.
My 11 came factory with updated valve cover. I still think it’s all results of the short dome cover. They damn near set on the rockers.
People always complain about oil loss but the problem is the intake is sucking oil through pcv valve, if you are doing this it would be a good idea to do a catch can running off pcv
So what does the catch can actually do? Does it just catch the oil or does it stop it from losing oil?
Your lucky you dont have an 07 because youd be spening 300$ on new covers
Ouch
